Summer only came a day late!

Technically, summer doesn't start until June 21st every year. The weather here lately in our fine state certainly has made sure we were aware of that! BUT the sun finally came out Tuesday, the 22nd, and looks as if it might stay for a little while.

So, with the sun here you would think I would have TONS of pics of us at the park, having picnics, playing in the pool.. all that good stuff.

Negative.

My family celebrated the sun with sickness.. BOO! Evelyn got sick a week ago and is still fighting it. Doug came down with it Monday, and due to a crazy work week, he had to stick it out there and is miserable. He finally is home sick today. Matthew now is really congested and is coughing. SO not fun. Me? Well, thankfully.. THANKFULLY, I haven't gotten the crud and I hope not to. But I am just plain exhausted. Both the kids have been up a lot at night and napping isn't happening for me. We'll make it.. I just wish we could have enjoyed the sun a bit more this week!

So what did we do this week? A whole lot of nothin'! Evelyn hasn't been too interested in being outside.. she would just rather hang low while she is sick. We did make it to the park once, but it didn't last long.. she was too hot!! ;) However, in the evenings Doug has taken the kids outside for a bit to enjoy the weather while I get a "break" to do dinner clean up. Last night I joined them in between clean up (it was easy.. we got take out!) and got some pics.

Ok.. this isn't from last night, but from this week sometime. Matthew's first time in the stroller without being in his car seat. He is getting SO big. *sigh*

Evelyn LOVES to play in Doug's work car (his commuter is an older car that gets great gas mileage and only cost us $600 a few year ago!). Actually she likes to play in all the cars, but since it's daddy's that makes it her favorite!

Here's a video of her "driving!" Funny kid!


.... and here's my cute boy in the grass. Look at those chubby thighs!

Here's to health and more sun!!
